Local Gun Enthusiasts Disheartened With Renewed Backlash Against Shooting People

(UNDATED) – Midstate gun owners and those who make money off of them are expressing disappointment at the increasing scrutiny that is being placed on the practice of shooting other people.

Many compare the backlash that has resulted from recent events in the news to the increased scrutiny of lynchings that came about in the early 20th century.

“What’s next – are they going to come to my house and confiscate all the paper cut-outs of people who I like to shoot at?” said Dexter Manfeaser, a gun owner who lives in Dillsburg.

“One of the only things that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a vat of battery acid that he’s ready to splash into the eyes of the bad guy,” said Richard Hockensnyder, owner of Firearms ‘N Shit, a store in Middletown. “But as battery acid is not readily available in large quantities, guns are the second best weapon we have against such lunatics.”

This past weekend, gun enthusiasts exercised their constitutional right to accidentally shoot each other when five people were shot at gun shows in North Carolina, Ohio and Indiana.
